Webgrabplus is a multi-site incremental xmltv epg grabber. It collects tv-program guide data from selected tvguide sites for your favourite channels.
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/webgrabplus:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ❌ |
To configure WebGrab+Plus follow the documentation
Please note that depending on your host this container may not work with the no-new-privileges=true security-opt.
Note that there are some things in the guide that does not apply to this container. Below you can find the changes.
The configuration files are found where your config volume is mounted. Do not change the filename tag in the configuration file!
The /data volume mapping is where WebGrab+Plus outputs the xml file. To use the xml file in another program, you have to point it to the host path you mapped the /data volume to.
To adjust the scheduled cron job for grabbing, edit the wg3-cron file found in the /config folder. After you have edited the the wg3-cron file, restart the container to apply the new schedule.
Do not adjust the command!
Note that due to something in version 3, we had to change the commands for scheduling the grab. If you have a version where there is a wg-cron file in your /config mount, delete it and use wg3-cron instead.
Below is the syntax of the cron file.
┌───────────── minute (0 - 59)
│ ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23)
│ │ ┌───────────── day of month (1 - 31)
│ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12)
│ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday;
│ │ │ │ │ 7 is also Sunday on some systems)

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)
---
version: "2.1"
services:
webgrabplus:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/webgrabplus:latest
container_name: webgrabplus
hostname: webgrabplus
mac_address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Etc/UTC
volumes:
- /path/to/config:/config
- /path/to/data:/data
restart: unless-stoppeddocker cli (click here for more info)
docker run -d \
--name=webgrabplus \
--hostname=webgrabplus \
--mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:00 \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Etc/UTC \
-v /path/to/config:/config \
-v /path/to/data:/data \
--restart unless-stopped \
lscr.io/linuxserver/webgrabplus:latest
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
--hostname= |
Set the hostname for the container for the license check. |
--mac-address= |
Set the mac_address for the container for the license check. |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Etc/UTC |
specify a timezone to use, see this list. |
-v /config |
Where webgrabplus should store it's config files. |
-v /data |
Where webgrabplus should store it's data files. |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpasswordWill set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it webgrabplus /bin/bash - To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f webgrabplus - container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' webgrabplus
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/webgrabplus:latest
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull webgrabplus
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d webgrabplus
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/webgrabplus:latest - Stop the running container:
docker stop webgrabplus - Delete the container:
docker rm webgrabplus - Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
-
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once webgrabplus
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
- We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webgrabplus.git
cd docker-webgrabplus
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/webgrabplus:latest .The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --resetOnce registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
